=20 Okay, so do you expect Chrome for Android to ever support Flash - especially considering that Adonr said that they won't support newer browsers?

no, but totally irrespective of anything from adobe- *google* has decided n= ot to support plugins.

Will Google ship two browsers with Androif?

no.

Or do I need to run two separate browsers - one for Flash and one to get all of the Google Chrome goodness?

But of course, Android isn't fragmented --- not even on the same device.....

do you expect all browsers on ios to have the same capabilities? =A0i s=

=20 I also doubt that Apple would develop two separate browsers for the iPhone with two separate feature sets at the same time.=20
